	Phreaking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Phreaking is a slang term coined to describe the activity of a subculture of people who study, experiment with, or exploit telephones, the telephone company, and systems connected to or composing the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) for the purposes of hobby or utility.
		The phone companies quickly caught on to the scheme and slowly deployed a number of systems to defeat it, but the phreaks felt that a true solution would be impossible because it would require adding hardware (a filter) to every line on every crossbar in the world.
		The phreaked call was then completed and when the operator asked for payment the phreak would play back the recording of the sounds (including the physical sound of the coins being deposited into the coin box) into mouthpiece of the telephone for the benefit of the operator.

		Phreaking is a slang term for the action of making a telephone system do something that it normally should not allow—in the words of one former practitioner, "making the phone company bend over and grab its ankles".
		The tools of the phone phreak are electronic devices known as boxes, originally the blue box, but later the fl box, red box, beige box and clear box and many others.
		At the phone company central office, the lines were connected to a series of mechanical disks (stepping relays) that rotated one position for every "click", so seven such clicks would turn the disk seven positions.

		Phreaks figured that one out, and just used large tables of hundreds of numbers in a scrambled order so the phone companies couldn't see a pattern (in stepping through that sequence) -- yet all valid numbers would still get checked.
		A phreak names Captain Crunch, found that the tone created by a whistle found in a box of cereal generated a 2600 Hz tone -- which just happened to be the same tone that operators used to control the phone switches.
		Phreaks took pride in being the worst spellers on the planet, and intentionally changed all 'f' to 'ph''s and vise versa.

		Phone phreaks have learned to beep out the codes which lead them to a verification operator, tell the verification operator they are switchmen from some other area code testing out verification trunks.
		Phone phreaks who were just learning the game or didn't have M-F capability were boosted up to the conference by more experienced phreaks so they could get a glimpse of what it was like before it disappeared.
		For them, for most phone phreaks in general, it was the discovery of the possibilities of loop-arounds which led them on to far more serious and sophisticated phone-phreak methods, and which gave them a medium for sharing their discoveries.

		There are three general areas when phreaking cellular phones; using one you found in an unlocked car (or an unattended walk-about model), modifying your own chip set to look like a different phone, or recording the phone number/ID number combinations sent by other local cellular phones, and using those as your own.

		The phone on your wall is an amazingly simple device, yet the phone system on the other end of those wires is one of the most complex switching systems ever created.

		The brothers' six-year spree of hacking into phone systems and hijacking telephone time ended when they were convicted of stealing credit card numbers and breaking into the Israeli army radio station's telephone system to set up an illicit phone company.
